“Svāmī! The matter of the kṣetra and of the kṣetrajña I have understood to some extent. That is, You have made known the tattva of Prakṛti and Puruṣa. But in all this You also gave some name or other, ‘jñeya’! If You would make known what that means too, I shall be blessed,” Arjuna asked. To this the Paramātma replied, “Arjuna! Did I not tell you already that kṣetrajña and jñeya are one and the same? Even so, I shall explain it so that you understand it more fully; listen. To know the Paramātma, that is, the one whose svarūpa is the Ātma, Jñāna alone is primary. There is no path but Jñāna by which the Ātma can be known. Karma and upāsanā are sources of what is produced; the Ātma is eternal, so it is never produced. The Ātma is kūṭastha; no modification comes to it. So it is precisely because He is the one to be known through such Jñāna that the name ‘jñeya’ came.”
